Renato Putti (Renato Presciutti) - Quietness between Mountains and Laughter

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a constant aspiration for painters. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; up to the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. In this painting, the artist Renato Presciutti depicts a charming strip of land, located between the upper and lower Novarese, places where

The Cusian Prealps, rich in rivers and streams, touch the first edges of the Po Valley. The abundant water, the fertile soil of the plain, and the countryside and landscapes of simple calm and tranquility, favor rice cultivation, which begins in Momo, Briona, and Carpignano and extends to the lower Vercelli area.

Renato Presciutti's style, consistent throughout his work, is grounded in a keen sense of color and a direct, cursive application of color. With just a few touches of color, the painter manages to construct his subjects, ensuring a striking immediacy in landscapes or life reproductions. It can therefore be said that Presciutti's stylistic register undoubtedly stems from a distinct impressionistic influence, but this is taken to the extreme of immediacy and rapid execution. In this way, just like the Impressionists, the artist captures the vibrations of light and atmosphere on objects, yet at the same time exerts a more pronounced synthesis of sensory data, achieving a highly lyrical representation of reality. However, Presciutti is a painter who remains firmly grounded in reality, and this lyrical transfiguration always occurs with full respect for sensory data. Thus in this view we can see how the artist's technique is enhanced in describing the reflections in the water and how he is able to unify the entire pictorial surface in the coherent, clear atmosphere of a sunny day.

Renato Presciutti, also known as Renato Putti, was born in Rome in 1902. An analysis of his works reveals him as an artist primarily focused on landscape painting, which he interprets with a very cursive and immediate technique, akin to post-impressionism. His underlying poetics are naturalism and realism, marked by an intimate lyricism and grounded in a synthesis of sensory information through color.
